Pepsi announced this afternoon that it’ll be closing its Collierville manufacturing location and will stay a warehouse and distribution facility. This seems to be a result of the difficult national climate for soft drinks.
This action will cause 55 employees to be laid off, including 12 salaried workers and 43 hourly workers.
Layoffs are no fun for anyone involved.
The company doesn’t necessarily WANT to layoff workers, but it’s in their own best interest do so in most situations.
This also isn’t desirable for the employee who’s being laid off.
Ideally, the said employee has emergency money saved up – the rule of thumb is to save up enough money to survive at least three months without income. However, for many people, that’s just not the reality and those people truly suffer when something like a layoff hits them.
If you’ve been laid off and it’s put deep financial stress on you, resulting in an inability to pay your bills and putting you deep in debt, there’s help for you.
